Most buyers of new build property in The Hyde approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in The Hyde I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in The Hyde in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
